Anybody ever use the knot tying tools or have any recomendations on them, was thinking of buying one for when it is very cold out. Here is one but there are several others if you do a google search.
My problem is with selecting the right knot in the best situation. I'm trying to get my round lead-head curly tail/grub style Jigs to stay horizontal for a vertical presentation. Is a palomar knot, trilene, or Uni-knot best here? I may be wrong on these guesses all together. I just want to be right when its spring crappie time.

I use a combination of the trilene knot and the improved clinch, basicly i do the trilene then take it a step further and use the last technic of (sliding the line through the loop) the improved clinch, kinda like an added insurance, since using this type of knot with my own twist i have minimized my lost lures by a great percentage.
This is my first post, although I was turned onto this sight this past summer and have looked at it almost every day. That was a great, easy to follow layout of how to tie proper knots. I have often wondered how to do different knots to keep the line from "cutting itself" as my dad would say. Thanks!
i use the trilene mostly, the palomar is great too but eats up line fast.i need a knot for tieing up to a post at the docks????when there are no cleats?

The bowline is best for your tying up at the dock question. If you google it, I'm sure you'll learn how to use it pretty quick.
